Hello and welcome

I’ve done a translate of your question for you so most members can understand as we’re predominantly English speaking on the forum

Fuchs Titan Sintopoid FE 75/85w

 

[Wighty]

1.2-1.3L

That's good for the differential.
Remove the filler bolt before removing the drain bolt.
You fill it until the oil comes out the filler hole.

The manual gearbox uses Fuchs Sintofluid FE 75W.
It needs 1.5 litres and you don't fill it until it comes out the filler hole.
Check the volume that drains out.

Motul is an excellent brand.
I looked up Motylgear and it does say that it is fine for both differentials and for gearboxes and they should know.

I use Fuchs oils in the engine, gearbox (both manual an auto) and differential (all different spec oils, of course). That's why I suggested that brand but I'm sure Motul are just as good.
There isn't a service schedule from MB for the differential or the manual gearbox but it is a sensible thing to do.

Thank you very much for your quick answers ...

I changed the differential oil because I hear a noise when I move from 30-40 km and after 50 the noise disappears .... and I thought it was from the differential .... but even after the change of oil this noise continues to there is...
If you know someone to tell me what it can be I will be grateful ...
Thanks in advance!

This noise sounds like a buzz ...

 

[steveq]

It is difficult (impossible) to diagnose the noise from the distance.

Can you identify the area of the car it is coming from?
That is, in front or behind you when you are driving, if it is coming from behind you is it the left or right or in the middle.
Can you get someone to either sit in the back of the car while you are driving or else let them drive and you sit in the back and try to locate the noise. Open a window and see if it is louder.

It could be anything from the bearing in the drive shaft, to a wheel bearing, brakes or the exhaust.

It is strange that it is only noticeable in a certain speed range. Does it matter what gear you are in?
Maybe the noise is still there at higher speeds but is drowned out by other noises (engine, tyres, etc.)?

The parking brake cables can sometimes rub off the drive shaft.

 

[Vakis32]

Yes it is very strange that it is heard only at certain kilometers ..... The noise comes from the rear right in the middle of the rear seat and not for more kilometers it is not heard at all .... it is definitely not drowned out by the noise of the tires, air nor the engine.
I suspect it is the friction of the central axis bump stop...
